89bb826079 ruby: keep histogram of outstanding requests in seq
The histogram for tracking outstanding counts per cycle is maintained
in the profiler. For a parallel implementation of the memory system, we
need that this histogram is maintained locally. Hence it will now be
kept in the sequencer itself. The resulting histograms will be merged
when the stats are printed.

c636a09e83 ruby: mesi coherence protocol: invalidate lock
The MESI CMP directory coherence protocol, while transitioning from SM to IM,
did not invalidate the lock that it might have taken on a cache line. This
patch adds an action for doing so.

The problem was found by Dibakar, but I was not happy with his proposed
solution. So I implemented a different solution.

253e8edf13 ruby: replace Time with Cycles (final patch in the series)
This patch is as of now the final patch in the series of patches that replace
Time with Cycles.This patch further replaces Time with Cycles in Sequencer,
Profiler, different protocols and related entities.

Though Time has not been completely removed, the places where it is in use
seem benign as of now.

287ea1a081 Param: Transition to Cycles for relevant parameters
This patch is a first step to using Cycles as a parameter type. The
main affected modules are the CPUs and the Ruby caches. There are
definitely plenty more places that are affected, but this patch serves
as a starting point to making the transition.

An important part of this patch is to actually enable parameters to be
specified as Param.Cycles which involves some changes to params.py.

b913af440b Ruby: remove config information from ruby.stats
This patch removes printConfig() functions from all structures in Ruby.
Most of the information is already part of config.ini, and where ever it
is not, it would become in due course.

467093ebf2 ruby: tag and data cache access support
Updates to Ruby to support statistics counting of cache accesses.  This feature
serves multiple purposes beyond simple stats collection.  It provides the
foundation for ruby to model the cache tag and data arrays as physical
resources, as well as provide the necessary input data for McPAT power
modeling.

7d4f187700 clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript
files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX
XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by
clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions,
comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty
bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also
fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names
that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in
kernel_stats.hh).

clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which
causes confusion between the container std::set and the function
Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the
entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in
the appropriate places.

63563c9df2 O3, Ruby: Forward invalidations from Ruby to O3 CPU
This patch implements the functionality for forwarding invalidations and
replacements from the L1 cache of the Ruby memory system to the O3 CPU. The
implementation adds a list of ports to RubyPort. Whenever a replacement or an
invalidation is performed, the L1 cache forwards this to all the ports, which
is the LSQ in case of the O3 CPU.

f3b4d10a05 Ruby: Process packet instead of RubyRequest in Sequencer
This patch changes the implementation of Ruby's recvTiming() function so
that it pushes a packet in to the Sequencer instead of a RubyRequest. This
requires changes in the Sequencer's makeRequest() and issueRequest()
functions, as they also need to operate on a Packet instead of RubyRequest.

09c3a97a4c This patch adds the network tester for simple and garnet networks.
The tester code is in testers/networktest.
The tester can be invoked by configs/example/ruby_network_test.py.
A dummy coherence protocol called Network_test is also addded for network-only simulations and testing. The protocol takes in messages from the tester and just pushes them into the network in the appropriate vnet, without storing any state.

f1c3f3044b ruby: get "using namespace" out of headers

grammar to allow types with :: in them.  Otherwise slicc barfs on std::string
which we need for the headers that slicc generates.

ed81489954 ruby: Ruby changes required to use the python config system
This patch includes the necessary changes to connect ruby objects using
the python configuration system.  Mainly it consists of removing
unnecessary ruby object pointers and connecting the necessary object
pointers using the generated param objects.  This patch includes the
slicc changes necessary to connect generated ruby objects together using
the python configuraiton system.

98c94cfe3c ruby: Convert most Ruby objects to M5 SimObjects.
The necessary companion conversion of Ruby objects generated by SLICC
are converted to M5 SimObjects in the following patch, so this patch
alone does not compile.
Conversion of Garnet network models is also handled in a separate
patch; that code is temporarily disabled from compiling to allow
testing of interim code.

07ea0891f1 ruby: new atomics implementation
This patch changes the way that Ruby handles atomic RMW instructions. This implementation, unlike the prior one, is protocol independent. It works by locking an address from the sequencer immediately after the read portion of an RMW completes. When that address is locked, the coherence controller will only satisfy requests coming from one port (e.g., the mandatory queue) and will ignore all others. After the write portion completed, the line is unlocked. This should also work with multi-line atomics, as long as the blocks are always acquired in the same order.

is that atomic memory operations do not seem to work properly anymore.

93f2f69657 ruby: Working M5 interface and updated Ruby interface.
This changeset also includes a lot of work from Derek Hower <drh5@cs.wisc.edu>

RubyMemory is now both a driver for Ruby and a port for M5.  Changed
makeRequest/hitCallback interface. Brought packets (superficially)
into the sequencer. Modified tester infrastructure to be packet based.
and Ruby can be used together through the example ruby_se.py
script. SPARC parallel applications work, and the timing *seems* right
from combined M5/Ruby debug traces. To run,
% build/ALPHA_SE/m5.debug configs/example/ruby_se.py -c

24da30e317 ruby: Make ruby #includes use full paths to the files they're including.
This basically means changing all #include statements and changing

mem/protocol.
